Care for Active Lifestyles in Downtown Vancouver
Full days on the mountain, rides around the seawall, late games at the rink, or a hard landing on the court may leave your body feeling tight or out of rhythm. Many active people in Downtown Vancouver visit Dr. Glen Woodman when tension, soreness, or limited movement begin to affect the activities they enjoy. Our ground-level office, steps from the waterfront and the Marine Building, makes it easy to stop in before work or between training sessions.
How Chiropractic Fits Into an Athlete’s Routine
Different sports place different demands on your body. Dr. Woodman uses a biomechanical, hands-on approach to assess how your spine and extremities are moving, then applies techniques intended to ease tension and encourage smoother motion. People may book before a ski trip or after a heavy training; others come only when something feels “off.” Your schedule is always your choice.
Why Active People Seek Care
Visitors often reach out when they notice:
- General muscle tightness after activity
- Back or neck stiffness following long days or long drives
- Shoulder, knee, or ankle soreness during sport
- Leg discomfort that feels nerve-related
- Tension after a fall or tougher training load
If symptoms feel unusually intense, connecting with a physician or another regulated provider may be helpful.
Techniques Tailored to Movement and Comfort
Dr. Woodman draws from several chiropractic and soft-tissue methods so care matches your comfort level and activity demands. Diversified adjustments, gentle drop-table methods, and the Activator Methods® instrument are used with the intention of improving how stiff areas move. Active Release Technique® focuses on soft-tissue tension.
Ultrasound therapy applies sound waves to the region being addressed. Extremity care may be included when shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, or wrists feel restricted. Your goals, training habits, and feedback guide each visit.
What to Expect When You Arrive
Your first visit typically runs 30-40 minutes, including assessment and hands-on care. Follow-ups are usually 15-20 minutes. Same-day and walk-in appointments are sometimes available near Downtown Vancouver’s business district, with transit and on-site parking nearby. Direct billing is offered for extended health plans, and massage or acupuncture can be coordinated at the same location when preferred.
